Decisions, Decisions
After riding the bike, this AM, and confirming that the next several days are forecast to be clear and increasingly warm, I decided to go ahead and order the bag I'd been looking at for De Zwaan's rear rack, along with a horn to replace the wimpy little bell which has been less than effective at alerting pedestrians, etc.
As I was considering these options, it occurred to me that the bag which I use to carry spare inner tubes, tools, etc, has been on at least 5 different bikes since I first got it in the, what,1990s? And, because I was an all-weather rider back then, it's been subjected to a lot of abuse and looks it.
The selling point on the electric horn is that, at 120 decibels, it's been known to blow litte kids off of their tricycles and cause little old ladies to crash their walkers into utility poles. So, you know, there's the entertainment value to consider, as well as the practicality of it.
Just kidding about that, but I did go ahead and order both for overnight delivery. So keep your kids and grannies indoors, lol...
